Non‐seed plants are emerging gene sources for agriculture and insect control proteins
The Plant Journal, Volume 116, Issue 1, Page 23-37, October 2023., 2023 SUMMARY The non‐seed plants (e.g., charophyte algae, bryophytes, and ferns) have multiple human uses, but their contributions to agriculture and research have lagged behind seed plants. While sharing broadly conserved biology with seed plants and the major crops, non‐seed plants sometimes possess alternative molecular and physiological adaptations ...

Distribution model and prediction of the tree fern <i>Alsophila costularis</i> Baker (Cyatheaceae) in China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe employed an optimized MaxEnt model to evaluate the relative contribution of each bioclimatic variable and predict the suitable habitat for Alsophila costularis Baker under past, current, and future climate scenarios, which is an endangered relict tree fern known as a living fossil.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 547-562, July 2023., 2023 Trees are an important part of many ecosystems. The Global Tree Assessment data can be used to focus conservation and restoration efforts for the circa 30% of tree species that are threatened worldwide. The conservation status for the tree flora of Limahuli Valley on Kaua'i Island and a restoration plan for 11 endangered tree species is evaluated in ...

The ecology and physiology of fern gametophytes: A methodological synthesis
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 10, Issue 2, March-April 2022., 2022 Abstract All green plants alternate between the gametophyte and sporophyte life stages, but only seed‐free vascular plants (ferns and lycophytes) have independent, free‐living gametophytes. Fern and lycophyte gametophytes are significantly reduced in size and morphological complexity relative to their sporophytic counterparts and have often been ...

Identifying cryptic fern gametophytes using DNA barcoding: A review
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 10, Issue 2, March-April 2022., 2022 Abstract Ferns and lycophytes are unique among land plants in having sporophyte (diploid) and gametophyte (haploid) generations that can grow independently of each other. While most studies of fern ecology focus on the more visible sporophytic stage, the gametophyte is critically important, as it is the sexual phase of the life cycle.

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 10, Issue 2, March-April 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise The entire life cycle of ferns has been documented, yet their life histories are still poorly understood. In particular, the phenology of fern gametophytes remains largely unknown. To address this issue, we demonstrated a new ecological approach to explore the phenological link between spore release and gametophyte maturation within ...

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 9, Issue 11-12, November-December 2021., 2021 Abstract Premise The great variation of genome size (C‐value) across land plants is linked to various adaptative features. Flow cytometry (FCM), the standard approach to estimating C‐values, relies mostly on fresh materials, performing poorly when used with herbarium materials. No fern C‐value reports have been derived from herbarium specimens; however,
